All events Calendar

On the fourth Sunday of the month, at 09.30am for approximately 60 minutes, we celebrate Holy Communion. Holy Communion in the Church of England is a communal act of remembrance and participation in the sacrifice of Christ. It includes hymns, prayers, Bible readings, and a sermon or address. Holy Communion is a service in which the faithful come forward to receive bread and wine, as the body and blood of Christ, or instead come forward to receive a blessing. Again, all ages welcome! St Mary's also hosts community and civic events including the Festivals, Times and Seasons of the year, and the Occasional Offices of Christenings, Weddings, and Funerals. We welcome the pupils and staff of Edith Weston Academy for their festivals and celebrations.

Bell Ringing

Monthly. Every Fourth Sunday at for 30 mins
Edith Weston: St Mary the Virgin
Church Lane Edith Weston, LE15 8EY, United Kingdom

For centuries the ringing of church bells shaped the sound of daily life in towns and villages. Long before clocks or electronic communication, bells served as the public voice of the Church, calling believers to prayer, announcing feasts, mourning the dead, and warning of danger.
By the Middle Ages church bells were formally blessed and dedicated to sacred use.
A medieval prayer asked that when the bell sounded “the devotion of the faithful may increase and the snares of the enemy be driven away.”
Today the ringing of church bells tells of faith, not hidden or private, but proclaimed openly. Their ringing reminds communities that time, life, and even the rhythm of the day ultimately belongs to God.

Bell ringing is not only a significant tradition but also a wonderful way to meet new people and engage both mentally and physically.

Holy Communion

Monthly. Every Fourth Sunday at for 1 hour
Edith Weston: St Mary the Virgin
Church Lane Edith Weston, LE15 8EY, United Kingdom

Holy Communion, also called the Eucharist or the Lord’s Supper, is a Christian sacrament commemorating Jesus Christ’s sacrifice through the sharing of bread and wine, His body and blood (1 Corinthians 11:26, Luke 22:19-20). It emphasizes communion and fellowship with God and unity among believers, serving as both a personal act of worship and a communal celebration of faith.
